Nothing in this patch should result in changed output for format=json or
format=php except as noted in RELEASE-NOTES-1.25, and changed output for
format=xml should be similar or cosmetic. However, other code accessing
the result data directly may need to be updated.

ApiResult was a mess: some methods could only be used with an array
reference instead of manipulating the stored data, methods that had both
array-ref and internal-data versions had names that didn't at all
correspond, some methods that worked on an array reference were
annoyingly non-static, and then the whole mess with setIndexedTagName.
ApiFormatXml is also entirely annoying to deal with, as it liked to
throw exceptions if certain metadata wasn't provided that no other
formatter required. Its legacy also means we have this silly convention
of using empty-string rather than boolean true, annoying restrictions on
keys (leading to things that should be hashes being arrays of key-value
object instead), '*' used as a key all over the place, and so on.
So, changes here:
* ApiResult is no longer an ApiBase or a ContextSource.
* Wherever sensible, ApiResult provides a static method working on an
arrayref and a non-static method working on internal data.
* Metadata is now always added to ApiResult's internal data structure.
Formatters are responsible for stripping it if necessary. "raw mode"
is deprecated.
* New metadata to replace the '*' key, solve the array() => '[]' vs '{}'
question, and so on.
* New class for formatting warnings and errors using i18n messages, and
support for multiple errors and a more machine-readable format for
warnings. For the moment, though, the actual output will not be changing
yet (see T47843 for future plans).
* New formatversion parameter for format=json and format=php, to select
between BC mode and the modern output.
* In BC mode, booleans will be converted to empty-string presence style;
modules currently returning booleans will need to use
ApiResult::META_BC_BOOLS to preserve their current output.
Actual changes to the API modules' output (e.g. actually returning
booleans for the new formatversion) beyond the use of
ApiResult::setContentValue() are left for a future change.

Depending on what method is being used to encode the binary sortkeys,
it's very possible that sending a binary value will be mangled by
WebRequest's UTF-8 normalization.
Rather than trying to fight it, let's just do what should have been done
in the first place when r86257 changed sortkey output to hex-encoded.
Too bad now we have to deprecate the old params and add
differently-named new ones instead of piggybacking on the original
breaking change.

The format for 'props' was never specified and the list for 'errors' is
impossible to keep updated when considering that many errors come from
MediaWiki backend code and extension hook functions. And since there
doesn't seem to be any real use case for either of these, let's just
kill both of them instead of wasting effort on trying to fix them.
Note that neither getResultProperties nor getPossibleErrors are called
from any extensions in gerrit, and none of the other deprecated methods
are called outside of the implementations of those two methods. Removing
the obsolete methods is left to the maintainers of the extensions, as
keeping them hurts nothing and is needed to maintain compatibility with
earlier versions of MediaWiki.

Which type is used depends on the ApiModuleManager responsible for
the API module. There are two managers, one in ApiMain and one in
ApiQuery. Both contain a list of API modules they instantiate.
Both use $this as the first parameter in the constructors of the
individual modules. There is no other regular way to instantiate the
modules, so we know the type must either be ApiMain or ApiQuery.
The lists don't intersect.
I would have prefered the naming scheme $mainModule for ApiMain
modules and $queryModule for ApiQuery modules but since this
doesn't add much I left the shorter variable names untouched.

Swapped some "$var type" to "type $var" or added missing types
before the $var. Changed some other types to match the more common
spelling. Makes beginning of some text in captial.
Also added some missing @param.

API queries must be completely ordered for proper behavior; otherwise
you may get into a situation where a query returns the same continuation
value that was provided. Various modules that have been using timestamps
in/as their continuation parameter can easily run into this problem.
Normally we'd have to add additional fields to the relevant indexes to
be able to make this work without having filesorting queries (which
MySQL really doesn't do well, it fetches all matching rows and only
applies the limit after[1]). But InnoDB has a "feature" where it
effectively appends the table's primary key to all other indexes,[2]
which makes these queries be properly indexed in that situation.
Apparently we're ok with this, since Icc43b62f was merged depending on
this feature.
Also, this change fixes some MySQLisms and other oddities done to
ApiQueryRecentChanges in Icc43b62f.

API was using SVN's version keyword which GIT does not support.
All related methods were either removed, or for those that
could have been used from extensions, emptied out.

Doxygen choke on text enclosed by '<' and '>' since it tries to
interpret them as HTML or XML elements. This patch adds double quotes
in includes/api/*.php files around the two following strings:
<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com
<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com
Which becomes:
"<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com"
"<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com"
Tested locally, it prevents doxygen 1.8.0 related warnings.

Added information about the properties of the results of API calls
to action=paraminfo, including information about "property groups":
what should the prop parameter be set to to get that property.
Uses the same format for types as parameters already do.
The output format of some modules doesn't fit this, so the result
properties for them weren't added, or only partially.
Partially implemented modules:
* expandtemplates:
parsetree is in its own tag
* protect, allusers, backlinks, deletedrevs, info, imageinfo,
logevents, querypage, recentchanges, revisions, searchinfo,
usercontribs, userinfo, users, watchlist, upload:
response with partially complex structure
Not implemented modules:
* feedcontributions, feedwatchlist, opensearch, rds:
non-standard reponse
* help:
error is normal response; not very useful for automated tools anyway
* paraminfo, parse, pageprops, siteinfo, userrights:
response with complex structure

It's a parctice that dates back to 2006 when the API was first written, and frankly isn't covered by the coding conventions. Same thing with the docblocks, they're all copypasted with some bits changed and don't even make sense if you look at them in the genereated code docs.
I don't feel that any of us depend on this anymore (get a better IDE), so in the inerest of consistancy it's time we said goodbye to it.
Code was largely copied from Tim's CR comment on r83812 but adapted to deal with the fact that we have to apply the cmcontinue-induced WHERE on cl_sortkey and cl_from only for the first query. Because ApiQueryBase doesn't let us unset or overwrite conditions like these in a nice way, I added an $extraQuery parameter to ApiQueryBase::select() that excepts additional query parameters that are only applied to that query but not stored in the object.
